İzmir Körfezine akan dere sedimentlerinin mutajenitesi

Bu çalışmada, Aralık 1995 tarihleri arasında İzmir Körfezi'ne drene olan Manda, Melez, Laka, Bostanlı, Bornova ve Gediz nehirleri ağızlarından alınan sediment örneklerinde S.typhimurium TA98 ve TA100 suşlan ile Ames'in mutajenite testi uygulanmıştır. Test sonucuna göre, körfezin iç kısmına drene olan dereler taşıdıktan kirlilik yükü sebebi ile körfez için mutajenik aktivite kaynağı teşkil etmektedirler.

Mutagenicity of rive sedements darining into Izmir Bay

Mııtagenicity of River Sediments Draining into Izmir Bay. In this study, genotoxic and mutagenic effect in the sediment samples of Izmir Bay collected in December 1995 from the stations on Manda, Melez, Laka, Bostanlı, Bornova and Gediz rivers draining to Izmir Bay has been studied by Ames mutagenicity test using by S.typhimurium TA98 and TA100 strains. According to the results of the present study, the rivers draining to the inner parts of the Bay are important sources of mutagenic activity due to their pollution load.
